  • General Information

The EH-60A Quick Fix II was a U.S. Army electronic warfare (EW) helicopter variant of the UH-60A Black Hawk, equipped with the AN/ALQ-151 Quick Fix system to intercept, locate, and jam enemy communications. It also featured unique antennas, an infrared countermeasures set, and the capability to downlink intelligence to ground stations. This specialized "Special Electronic Mission Aircraft" played a role in battlefield communication denial and intelligence gathering until it was succeeded by newer versions like the Advanced Quick Fix (AQF).

  • Specification

Crew: 4-5, Main rotor diameter: 16.38m, Fuselage length: 15.26m, Height: 5.13m, Take-off weight: 9980kg, Cruising speed: 237km/h, Hovering ceiling, OGE: 3170m, Range: 600km

  • Jobs it could do

Transport and Recon. thought it could also be added with a new job called "jamming", I'll probabaly make a suggestion for that later explaining it.

  • Some history because why not

The EH-60A Quick Fix II was an electronic warfare variant of the UH-60 Black Hawk developed by the U.S. Army in the 1980s to replace aging EH-1H "Huey" jamming helicopters. It carried advanced signal intercept and communications jamming equipment designed to disrupt enemy command-and-control networks on the battlefield. Although several prototypes were built and tested, the program faced technical and funding challenges, and it was eventually canceled in favor of more modern systems.

  • it has almost none visual differences to be separated variant, which means it gotta be Blackhawk customization variant
  • We already have variants for both recon and MPA making this redundant

maritime patrol aircraft

#

tldr seahawk

modern oyster
#

and which is the variant for recon

#

is that the seahawk too

sinful pollen
#

knighthawk iirc

#

unless it got removed with MPA/Recon mishap

modern oyster
#

but still the knighthawk is not a designated recon helicopter unlike the quick fix

sinful pollen
#

neither is blackhawk

modern oyster
#

i never said the blackhawk was

modern oyster
sinful pollen
#

making this means it can't be separated variant for a job due to lack of differences enough to be added as new heli

Meaninh would be added as Blackhawk advanced customization variant without dedicated recon job.

Meaning can't add recon job to Blackhawk because it has no sense being there.

modern oyster
#

oh well

sinful pollen
#

Blackhawks are officially finished

#

i don't forsee any additions to them

modern oyster
